Recorded on November 21, 1928 in New York City. According to Don Kent, this tune refers to a 1907 flood in central Tennessee and the resulting comment of a friend of Uncle Dave Macon: "All I got's gone." Ernest Stoneman was one of the more prolific performers of old-time music in the '20s. Furthermore, his children and grandchildren became famous in their own right during the sixties as bluegrass performers.

Subject: Catchy Tune-and appropiate for a lot of people now.
I keep coming back to this song and singing along to it. If you liked the soundtrack to "Oh Brother, where Art Thou?", you'll probably dig this.
Very appropriate for the current times in the US where people are still losing their jobs and personal bankruptcies are on the rise.
